As we told you a few days ago, NBC decided not to air Episode 1.04 of “Hannibal,” entitled “Oeuf,” due to its controversial and violent content, opting instead to run a web-only, edited look at the ep. Here’s the first installment – check back in a few hours for the rest.

This first video features an introduction from executive producer Bryan Fuller, who explains that “Oeuf” details the relationship between Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Abigail Hobbs, played by Kacey Rohl. He says, “As the series goes on, this relationship gets much more complicated and becomes a load-bearing element of our storytelling. So we wanted to make sure that you have all the scenes to follow the story along.”

“Hannibal” Episode 1.04 – “Oeuf”WILL MAKES A CHILLING DISCOVERY ABOUT CHILDREN, AND HANNIBAL GOES AGAINST A DOCTOR’S ADVICE – A string of family murders takes place, and Will (Hugh Dancy) determines they were conducted by each of the families’ missing children, who were abducted and brainwashed into killing their old families for their sinister “new family.”

Against Alana’s (Caroline Dhavernas) recommendation, Hannibal (Mads Mikkelson) checks Abigail (Kacey Rohl) out of the hospital for some frightening psychiatric practices that ultimately align her loyalty with him.
